Dragonball Z

Dragonball Z games have gone through as many evolutions as the consoles they’re made for. They’ve started out as sprites and made their stumbling way to polygons.

Now in Dragonball Z Burst limit, we have a title that comes startlingly close to the anime. Fans of the franchise will be pleased with this game as many of its features bring justice to the DBZ legacy.

Visually, Burst Limit makes you feel like youâ€™re part of the original show, with most of the fighting stages faithfully depicting key scenes from the show. Everything from Kameâ€™s house to planet Namek has been rendered beautifully with traditional DBZ look and feel. There are plenty of cut scenes and it’s enough to leave this DBZ fan reminiscing about the good ol’ days.

In terms of characters, I was pleased to see the attention brought to all the characters so that their personalities and expressions show through. More than that, the characters like Goku grow and develop as I progressed through the story.

I loved seeing little Gohan turn from a whining wimp to a seasoned fighter. I even got the chills when Goku is pushed in his battle with Frieza and unleashed the legendary warrior inside him. That level of detail is one of my favorite parts of Burst Limit.
